This a wonderful meal to make on a rainy cool day, it is perfect to let simmer in a crockpot all day and come home to a delicious and filling meal. This recipe is a guideline but you can add any vegetables you like or those leftover from another meal and adjust the spices to your liking.

Betty, there are a number of great fall recipes being posted here that are perfect for the busy mom. Crock pots are a life saver....it's so nice to walk into the house after a busy day and smell supper. Your chili looks wonderful. Kathy (MGCC)

How I wish posters would actually post reviews of the recipes rather than how wonderful the picture looks. Not to be a Debbie Downer but that doesn't help anyone wishing to try a new recipe. Can the board administrator request this?

We would love to have reviews of our recipes and many of them have come back to tell us how it has turned out or to give some hints on how to improve the recipe. We are thankful for every comment. It encourages us to continue to share the recipes that come from our individual kitchens.
